Despite a turn for the worse in terms of weather, Perth Show enjoyed a very successful second day.
Crowds turned out in force again and made the best of things as rain fell.
“Things are going well,” said show secretary Neil Forbes on Saturday. “It is a bit wet but nothing has been cancelled, we have carried on as normal.”
Mr Forbes said that staging the show on the South Inch rather than the Lesser South Inch had helped the success of the event.
“It is a good site, much bigger,” he said.
Poor ground conditions forced a move across the road in 2013 and councillors have agreed to make the move permanent. Friday was given over to horse and pony classes and on Saturday the main livestock took centre stage.
Among the non-agricultural attractions were the ever-popular displays by members of the Scottish Women’s Rural Institute where their skills in baking, sewing and crafting were judged.
The show has now been going for more than 150 years.
The two-day show remains a hugely important event for the agricultural community, which is also enjoyed by the people of the city.
Regarded as one of the top shows in Scotland, the Perth event remains unique as the only agricultural show to be staged within the boundary of a city only a few minutes’ walk from the city centre.
The influx of the agricultural community to Perth also provided a welcome boost for local pubs and restaurants, which reported brisk trade on Saturday night in particular.
The show provides a much-anticipated opportunity for farmers from a wide area to meet and catch up with old friends.
On Sunday, the huge task of dismantling the show stalls and pens got under way, aided, thankfully, by dry conditions.
